Muzzleloader Season

[whiskey]

Has anybody seen any rubs or scrapes yet? I found 3 or 4 scrapes and only 2 or 3 rubs so far.

Yep.

[DaveS]

Yes, starting to see a bunch of them. Bucks are chasing does as well.

[Handsome Rob]

Yep, starting to see a few rubs around.

WD, you're not completely alone. There are a few rocklockers here. Well, 3 of us that I know of! I'll be honest though, my flinter is not my primary muzzleloader. I'm still too in love with my percussion Plains Rifle!

[Guest GunTroll]

Is that a youth rifle?

I got a T/C Impact last year and killed two deer with it. I'm gonna try and bust some lungs again this year.

I saw an awesome rub yesterday that was on a cedar that was about 6" diameter. Rubbed from the ground to about 4 feet high. I want the buck that did it.

No. It's a COMPACT model, just like me!

Nice Doe Bro! tan the "hide"....would be a pretty one!

[ShaunM]

nice doe.

[roverboy]

Congratulations on the doe. I hunted till 10:45 and didn't see anything but squirrels. It was super foggy and the fog didn't really move out till almost 10:00.

[IggyBcool]

Didn't see a thing all day yesterday..not even a squirrel. Literally.

[roverboy]

I didn't get to hunt Sunday or this morning but, did go this afternoon and saw just a bunch of squirrels. If we get some cold mornings it will have to get better.

[Guest pfries]

I don't know about where your at but they have been moving a lot in mid afternoon out by me..... go figure

[roverboy]

I saw 2 young bucks this morning and passed on both. One was a 6 point that should be nice in a couple more years if he's lucky.

[Sidinman]

Here's a little 8 pointer I killed Saturday morning at about 8:15. Used my TCA .54 CAL. Renagade.[/img]

If I had passed on this one,somebody else around here would have taken him later on this year. I saw another one very similar to this one Sunday morning. I had gotten down and was checking out what little was left of the gut pile, and he saw me before I saw him.

bad spelling

[roverboy]

Sidinman, thats a good'un. Like you said if you let him walk who knows how long he would make it. Looks like he's got a big body.

[Sidinman]

Thanks, yea he was pretty heavy for around here. Boy did he have an odor if you know what I mean.

I say it's a two an a half year old. The one I saw Sun. looked to be about the same size. But it was only a quick look as he seen me before I seen him. lol
